This blog started off by focussing on NZ's smaller 3rd level airlines, past and present. It has evolved to trying to present some record of NZ's domestic airline operations and some of the larger charter operators, interesting NZ international airliner movements and photos I have taken around the country.

Southbound Road Trip #1

I am heading back to Christchurch for the next couple of months and calling at some of the main airports...

The RNZAF's Beech Super King Air NZ1885 at Hamilton on 26 November 2013

Arriving into Hamilton on 27 November 2013 was Air Nelson's Bombardier Q300 ZK-NEW

A slightly earlier arrival was Sunair's Piper Aztec ZK-DGS.

The Sunair Aztec I was most after, ZK-MTY at Hamilton on 27 November 2013 on the taxi.

And over at Tauranga was Sunair's Piper Aztec ZK-EVP.

Tied down at Tauranga on 27 November 2013 Cessna 150 ZK-CTB

Piper Seneca ZK-UPX in its new Bay Flight colour scheme at Tauranga on 27 November 2013

A real surprise was Oceania Helicopter's Aerospatiale Squirrel ZK-HLW which was topdressing at Rangiuru on 27 November 2013

Cessna 172 ZK-DFG was at Whakatane on 27 November 2013

A new one for me was BRM Aero Bristell LSA ZK-LMR at Whakatane on 27 November 2013
